in address to the german parliament, merkel addressed the bombing campaign. here is what she had to say. >> we are currently seeing terrible events in syria. the regime, fighting out against terrorists, but against its own people. the killing of children, the destruction of hospitals. all of that is a massacre that deserves to be condemned. and which must be opposed by us with a clear note. but it calls on us to play a larger role so we can stop massacres like this. sarah: and earlier we spoke with martin my list from the aid organization care in amman, georgia. he talked about the situation. >> we hear from our partners, and it has been desperate, desperate for help. it has been really devastating in the last five days, and even today at lunchtime we already had dozens of casualties reported throughout, artillery and the departments -- bombardments. it is sad, similar to what we had seen last year with the targeting of many facilities, bakeries, markets, water infrastructure. the roads are empty and no one can go out, people are sheltering in their basements

her nomination can be seen as a way of reaching out to merkel's critics. although she is loyal to the party leader, she has never been to shout -- too shy to voice her opinion in the past. sarah: for more, let's go to our political correspondent, oliver sallet, who is standing by with the latest from berlin. how have chancellor angela party members reacted to this decision? oliver: it appears that she is taking care for her legacy. she has received lots of criticism from within her party for the open door policy and the refugee crisis of 2015 and 2016, and the subsequent week election -- weak election results, and a shift to the left not everyone is happy with. the overall question is, are we witnessing her last term, angela merkel's last term as german chancellor? and will she present her own successor at some point? kramp-karrenbauer is not her automatic successor, that this is a very influential position, and we have to take into consideration that angela merkel herself held this position before she became party head and later german chancellor. sarah:

the per turkish prime minister met angela merkel here in berlin, and merkel stressed housetrained the relations really are -- how strained this relations really are. and then a day later they did set him free. this came as a big surprise here in germany, although the signs of reconciliation were seen there before. since deniz yucel is set free, the court appreciates it, but it does not mean relations will go back to normal that prickly. the german government stressed today very often and everybody who spoke to the press repeatedly said there were still five other german citizens in custody in turkey. in addition to that, 150 journalists who do not have german document so that germany itself is not happy with the political class of the policy of turkey under president erdogan at this point. what they are stressing is this can only be regarded as a first step of reckons alienation, but many major efforts will have to be undertaken to go back to normal in the bilateral relations. sarah: you mentioned all of those other cases. we have to keep in mind that yucel was the most prominent one

merkel calling for fast and fair proceedings against him. we will head to the winter olympics in pyeongchang, day six of the games. matt herrmann is joining us on the set to talk all things sports, all things olympics. we have a great story coming out of the snowboard cross. matt: this is a real comeback story. some of it is wrapped up in the nature of snowboard cross, but it is a great story. this man fell on the semifinal, looked like he was going to be out. but that occurs to so many guys that he finished the race alone, 16 seconds behind the winner, and he came in third which qualified him for the final. when the final went down, he ran a pretty much perfect race and finished going away. he repeats as gold medalist in snowboard cross. it is just, you can't cap anybody out of this sport. sarah: how about curling? there are teams having difficulties, but one is looking good what they are doing. matt: you can say that. norway has been making the scene with their fancy pants as they did in 2010 and 2014. but their pants are new. they never p

is that just a negotiating tactic ahead of his meeting with german chancellor angela merkel, or is there cause for hope? julia: well, sarah, i don't think it is just negotiating tactics. after all, deniz yucel's case is the major obstacle when it comes to restoring german-turkish relations, and that is definitely what angela merkel wants. they want to mend ties with germany. unfortunately, he didn't specify what he means by saying he is expecting developments shortly. but he was again referring to the turkish courts saying in the end it is up to the judiciary to decide -- unfortunately, or ironically, the same judiciary which could not come up with any charges, any indictment in the past year, which led many to believe they don't have the necessary evidence to come up with such an indictment. so what do i expect will happen? i don't think deniz yucel will suddenly walk out of jail in istanbul as a free man, but the more likely scenario is that state prosecution after the government cleared the way will present a formal indictment and then at least a trial can start. sarah: julia, let's t
